Document processing

Document processing nodes bring UiPath document intelligence directly onto the Flow canvas as discrete, business-oriented steps. Each node represents one operation — extract structured fields, synthesize a long document — without requiring you to wire up a separate agent or understand the underlying model technology.

The nodes appear in the node palette under Document processing, grouped by the operation they perform.

Available nodes

Nó	O que faz
Extrair	Pulls typed fields from a document using a deployed IXP extraction model. Use when you need structured data — invoice totals, form values, named fields — returned in a typed shape for downstream nodes to act on.
Resumir	Synthesizes across a document (up to 1,000 pages) and returns a grounded answer with citations. Use when the next step needs a reasoned answer or summary, not a fixed schema of fields.

How document processing nodes differ from agent tools

Summarize also exists as a built-in agent tool that attaches to an Autonomous Agent. The distinction is where the decision is made:

• Document processing node — the step is deterministic. The flow always calls Extract or Summarize at that point in the process, with the inputs you configure.
• Agent tool — the agent decides when to call the tool while reasoning. Use the Summarize agent tool when an Autonomous Agent needs to synthesize documents as part of broader open-ended reasoning.
